- Misrepresentation of facts or any information in an applicant’s application form would result in cancellation of his/her candidature or withdrawal of his/her offer of admission
- All decisions of the Admissions Committee are final. No request for reevaluation of an applicant’s application will be considered once the final decision has been sent

Our DI Code for SAT applicants is – 7343. All applicants applying with SAT/ ACT scores need to send us their official transcripts
- Applicants without any one of the above scores are not eligible for a firm offer of admission
- For applicants whose final class XII board examination scores are not available at the time of evaluation, the SAT/ACT or the Ashoka Aptitude Test (AAT) may be used to make a firm offer of admission. This is especially helpful for the first round of admissions where most applicants may not have their final board examination scores
- The higher score out of Ashoka Aptitude Test or ACT or SAT or class XII board marks will be considered while taking a decision on an applicant’s candidature
